Below are photos from the rehearsals for the first ever BAC ROCKS! production in 2003. The band rehearsed for several months in the music room of the Fine Arts Center on campus. As the show came closer the intensity of rehearsals increased, and in early April the band moved into the Mitchell Performing Arts Center where band members helped with the lights, stage and sound checks.

Finally, after countless hours of work to get the lights, music equipment and sound ready, the band takes the stage to get a feel for the theater.

Sound checking is a long and tedious process. But it is important to get everything right. The time spent working on the stage and theater sound is well worth it.
